Exploding dice

Are dice only exploded with rolls of boxcars or any doubles? I'm trying to come up with a critical failure rule and I'm thinking a snake eyes' roll would do it but wasn't sure if there was already a critical failure rule in either UE or SCI-FI.
Thanks, and hope everyone is having a fantastic new years!

It's any doubles according to the BASH: UE rule book. This is why the lowest number that can be rolled is 3.
Happy New Year's to you too, mate. We're already done with that day down here

Hey, ubrgeek!
Did you ever try out the idea of using snake eyes as a crit fail? I'm curious to know if it worked okay or if it ends up breaking the game somehow.

I didn't, actually. As cool as I found BASH I ended up switching to using the Fudge system. It seemed to match what I'm hoping to accomplish.

Rolling a natural "3" as a automatic failure seems good to me. If the automatic failure would have also been a regular failure by rolling a 3, it could be a Crit failure.
This is actually something that I've been toying with as a possible "Bad Luck" power when we get to the Luck Suite. Maybe an enhancement to Confusion and some other powers that makes any roll of 3 result in some bad backlash against the target.
